    Surprise. Not only does shooting a driver not stop a car, but the cop got out of the way after firing, rendering his actions unjustified.

      As expected, the cop in front left himself ample time and space to be clear of the car, so it certainly wasn’t about saving his life.

      It’s wild that American cops will actively put themselves in danger when there’s no advantageous or logical need to do so, then cry that the reason they kill and maim so many people is because the job is dangerous.

        It’s wild, yes, but remember, it’s fake. The cop was in no danger, and from where he was standing, assuming he’s in reasonable health, he could easily get out of the car’s way if she gunned it. Instead he gunned her.

        If only American cops had proper education and training like policemen in other countries have. In some departments, the ability to shoot a gun seems to be the primary qualification for the job.

          Only a fevered desire to shoot guns is the qualification for getting the job. They don’t seem to be required to know how to operate them properly.

        Because it lets them murder people with no repercussions.

        That’s not true at all! Why just recently there was a very dangerous active shooter incident in a school, around the kindergarten area I believe, and the entire police force was very careful to stay far away from that area, or any other part of the school where children were cowering in fear for their lives, where they might have put themselves in danger. It was very responsible policing that kept every one of those officers out of the way of any potential harm.
